2 Claims. 1

My invention, which relates to a novel sput and a novel means for makingsame, has for its primary object to reduce cost of manufacture of sputsby employing standard steel tubing or standard steel pipe having theproper diameters, purchased in random lengths, and reducing waste by theelimination of practically all scrap.

Again it is an object to provide a sput and its combination with abarrel or tank, so constructed and combined so as to provide a fluidtight connection or joint between the barrel or tank.

Other objects will in part be obvious and in part be pointed outhereinafter.

To the attainment of the above objects and ends, the invention alsoresides in those novel steps of manufacture, details of construction,combination and arrangement of parts, hereinafter described in detailand then specifically pointed out in the appended claims, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawing in which:

Fig. l is an elevation of a portion of a tubing or standard pipe fromwhich the ferrules are cut.

Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section of a ferrule cut from thetubing of Fig. 1, the first step in the method of manufacturing a sput.

Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2 showing the second and third steps ofmanufacture.

Fig. 4. is a view similar to Figs. 2 and 3 showing the finished sput.

Fig. 5 is a vertical central section showing the sput secured in themouth of a barrel or tank.

Fig. 6 is a detail section on the line 6-6 of Fig. 5.

Fig. '7 is a detail View showing the first step in assembling the sputwith the tank collar.

Fig. 8 shows the second step of the same, while the third or final stepis indicated in dotted lines and results in the complete assembly ofFig. 5.

Fig. 9 is a detail vertical sectional view showing a spout attached tothe tank.

Fig. 10 is a top plan view of the same.

Fig. 11 is a view similar to Fig. 5 showing a cap seal in place.

In the drawing, in which like numerals of reference indicate like partsin all the figures, l indicates a portion of steel tubing which is to becut into suitable lengths along the dot and dash lines 2 to produceferrules 3 (Fig. 2). The ferrule 3 has one or more holes 5 and/orrecesses 6 punched or drilled in the side wall.

The ferrules 3 (Fig. 3) shown in dotted line, are sized to the properdiameter then have one end flared or rolled to an angle of about 45, asat 4. After sizing and flaring one end of the ferrule by any well knownmeans, a thread 1 is cut on the inner side of the ferrule 3. Thiscompletes a sput as shown in Fig. 4.

The barrel or tank 8 is provided with a neck 9 having an end portion l0which, when a sput is 2 inserted imthe neck 9 is rolledor: pressedunderthe end of the flared part 4 of the sput, as shown in Figs. '7 and 8, agasket l3 being interposed between the end of the flared'portion 4 andthe bend of the neck 9, l0 (see Fig. 8).

The closure cap 14 is flanged, to provide a shoulder l5 and threaded tofit into the sput threads I, a gasket l6 being carried by the cap M tomake a fluid tight contact with the bent over end ill of the neck 9, asshown in Fig. 5.

When the neck 9 of the tank is rolled or pressed in to fit around thesput, as at l I, portions of the same are pressed or stamped into therecesses 6 and/or holes 5 as at I2 in Figs. 5 and 6. This keeps the sputfrom turning in the neck.

As will be seen by reference to Fig. 5 the hole 5 communicates with theinterior of the barrel or tank and serves as a drain opening when cap orplug I4 is removed. The cap or plug I4 is preferably formed with arecess I! of angular form in plan, to receive a suitable wrench, notshown, or a cross bar l8 may be provided (see Fig. 9).

The provision of holes 5 enables the plug M to serve as a valve, as byslightly unscrewing the plug, liquid within the tank can be poured outvia a hole 5 but when the plug I4 is screwed in tight gasket l6 sealsoff escape of liquid from the vessel.

In Figs. 9 and 10 I have shown how a spout l9 may be attached to thebarrel or tank for pouring purposes. The larger end of the spout isrolled or pressed under the part 9, as at 20. By making the spout ofresilient metal it may be attached and detached at will if desired.

Fig. 11 shows how a cap seal 2| may be placed over the neck 9 and rolledor pressed under the neck.

From the foregoing, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing itis thought the construction, operation and advantages of my sput and theadvantages resultant in its method of manufacture, will be clear tothose skilled in the art to which it appertains.

What I claim is:

l. A metallic vessel having an opening provided with a neck; a sput insaid neck and comprising a section of a metal tube of a proper diameterand having an outwardly flared end, a gasket on the outer edge of saidend, said section having at least one recess in its outer wall-face,said neck being in tight contact with the surfaces of said flared endand embracing said gasket and havin a portion projected into said recessfor purposes described.

2. A metallic vessel having an opening provided with a neck, a sput insaid neck and comprising a section of a metal tube of a proper diameterto fit said opening and having an outwardly flared end, a gasket on theouter edge of said end, said neck being in tight contact with thesurfaces of 3 said flared end and embracing said gasket, and means forholding said sput from swivelling in said neck.
